Guest Smith Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 I have test environment based on Windows Server 2003 and there are two AD servers. My knowledge for Win2008 is limited, so for new test I'd like to migrate second AD to new machine which will be Server 2008 and then move first AD also to a Server 2008 (probably move roles etc...). What do you recommend for this scenario?
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 Re: Server (domain) migration Hello smith, No problem with inplace upgrade to 2008, but at least you need SP1 installed on 2003. Then run adprep command from the install disk against the schema master with an account that is member of the schema admins to prepare AD.
